Defiler of Faith + The Wind Crystal + Whitemane Lion + Angelic Chorus

Defiler of Faith

The Wind Crystal

Whitemane Lion

Angelic Chorus

How it works

1. Cast Whitemane Lion by paying 0 and 2 life due to Defiler of Faith and The Wind Crystal.
2. Defiler of Faith triggers, creating a 1/1 Soldier creature token.
3. When the Soldier enters, Angelic Chorus triggers, causing you to gain life.
4. Resolve Whitemane Lion. When it enters, it and Angelic Chorus trigger.
5. Resolve the Whitemane Lion trigger, returning it from the battlefield to your hand.
6. Resolve the Angelic Chorus trigger, causing you to gain life.
7. Repeat.

This loop is a masterclass in cost reduction and self-referential recycling, centered around casting Whitemane Lion for zero mana. With Defiler of Faith slashing the white mana requirement and The Wind Crystal shaving off general generic costs, the Lion's mana value drops to nothing while the Defiler rewards each cast by churning out a 1/1 Soldier token. Every time a creature enters, Angelic Chorus steps in to convert toughness into lifegain, an effect further doubled by The Wind Crystal to pad your life total while you easily offset the Defiler's life payments. When Whitemane Lion hits the board, its own entry trigger forces it right back to your hand so you can seamlessly repeat the process, turning a humble flash feline into an engine for infinite tokens and life.
